Now Reserving Packages, NUCs, and Queens!

We are working with Beez Needz to provide our local beekeepers with packages, NUCs, and queens this spring. Beez Needz will supply us with the bees. Country Farm and Home will handle all reservations and collect payment. Pick up will be at the store. Here are the details…

Package Days

Saturdays, March 30 and April 13 are Package Days (Weather Pending) – We are booking 3 lb. Italian bee packages from Georgia NOW!

Packages are $110 each and include a MARKED queen. Reserve now to hold your space. Packages need to be prepaid at time of reservation.

NUC Day

TBA (Mid April, Date Pending) – We are reserving NUCs NOW! NUCs are $175 and include five frames of bees with a mated queen. NUCS are raised in central North Carolina. NUCS need to be prepaid at time of reservation.

Queens

Extra Mated Queens (Georgia) $30 each, arriving with packages. Queens need to be prepaid at time of reservation. As the season gets a little later, we will have Local Waynes queens available for $40!

How do I Reserve My Bees?

Call the store at (919) 542-3353 or email us at melinda@cfhsupply.com to reserve packages, NUCs, or the first round of queens! All staff members have been trained to take reservations. Payment needs to be made by March 1 and can be done by either calling in a credit card number, mailing a check, or stopping by the store.

Beekeeping Supplies

Please see the attached .pdf of our updated supply list for the 2019 beekeeping season. Feel free to use this list to help you plan. For larger orders, some customers find it useful to use this supply list as an order form and submit it to our store in advance of pick up so we have an opportunity to pull supplies together for you.
